Hi, Thanks once again for all your help. I did remove the auto line from /etc/networking/interfaces It did speed up the boot process, by cutting the time spent on dhcp discover.
However very early in the boot process kernel module ipw3945 does still get loaded but the binary daemon does not get started at the same time. Also to get wireless working I still need to manually run modprobe -r ipw3945 # which causes the module and daemon to be restarted ! /etc/init.d/wparoamd stop /etc/init.d/wparoamd start I wonder if the problem is in /etc/rc2.d where the links are : S15wparoamd S20ifplugd I guess I can always link the above commands to S99local but would really like to understand and fix this if possible. Also my /etc/modules file is empty so that can't be the cause of ipw3945 being loaded during boot. regards b thomas On Mon, May 15, 2006 at 11:57:52PM -0600, Stefan Srdic wrote: > With ifplugd you should only have the loopback automatically configured > at boot. ifplugd will bring the devices up and down depending on their > state.
